Why Is This Important?

Average age at death is a measure of longevity.

Definition

The arithmetic mean age, in years, at which a group of persons died

Average age at death does not take into account the average age of the corresponding population. This can bias results in demographic groups whose age composition varies greatly from that of the overall population.

How the Measure is Calculated

    The sum of ages at death among decedents in a given time period

  • Denominator:
